[QUOTE="Youre_Name_Cant_Be_Quoted"][QUOTE="Penguin_dragon"][QUOTE="blooddemon666"][QUOTE="Penguin_dragon"]Think of it this way, If everyone in the world thought 2+2=5 tomorrow, and you were the only one who believed that 2+2=4, you would be branded as insane.So if you get shot with a nuke, and i say that you lived and died of unrelated causes and most of the people on earth believed me, than it really happend.

that is a terrible example. numbers are an abstract symbol to represent something. but when someone dies in a nuclear blast, someone dies in a nuclear blast.
There is a difference between belief and reality.
Can you tell me exactly where this line lies?
If i shoot you in the head and it enters and exits the brain you can believe you will live,for about 1 minute, be fore you undoubtly die. If i'm convinced that 2+4=876, that is belief but the former is reality and truth.Are you shure I died? Though I may be dead physically, if someone erases all records of my existance, then i never existed and therefore, never died. This has happend in Tianamen Square, where they falsified records and people truely believed that no one died, all statements saying that they did happen, were retracted, no one could prove it, so technically no one died. The line between reality and truth can be blurred.
again, thats just brainwashing, not altering reality
